Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for displaying texts on a display unit of a text station according to the preamble of claim 1. Furthermore, the invention relates to an arrangement for carrying out the method.
  • the display is often carried out in such a way that the characters are written into a given, always the same writing point on the display unit and are shifted to the left by one character position each time a new character is entered. It is also possible to write the characters into the display unit starting from the left edge in accordance with a representation of the text using a typewriter. In this case, a writing mark can be provided which indicates the respective writing point.
  • the cursor can, in accordance with the movement of a printer carriage in a typewriter, by actuating the "space” and "reset” keys which are usually provided on a keyboard horizontally to the left or to the right.
  • the cursor When displaying a plurality of lines on a screen, the cursor can be moved not only in the horizontal direction but also in the vertical direction in order to be able to address characters in any line shown.
  • four cross-shaped keys are provided for positioning the cursor, each of which is assigned to a coordinate direction.
  • a joystick or a roller ball for positioning, which can be adjusted in the four coordinate directions and, if necessary, also in the directions in between and when actuated, the cursor is moved in the corresponding direction.
  • the invention is therefore based on the object of specifying a method and an arrangement for displaying texts on a one-line display unit of a text station, the use of which is very similar in terms of operation to displaying texts on a screen.
  • the object is achieved in the method of the type mentioned by the features specified in the characterizing part of claim 1.
  • the method according to the invention has the advantage that very similar control units and keyboards can be used, regardless of whether the text is displayed on a one-line display or on a multi-line display.
  • the text station can be manufactured inexpensively.
  • the method also proves to be expedient if the shift of the cursor in the horizontal direction and the shift of the text shown in the display unit in the vertical direction take place at a variable speed. It is also conceivable to carry out both shifts simultaneously.
  • An advantageous embodiment of an arrangement for carrying out the method contains a text memory in which a plurality of lines of the text is stored, a display memory in which the code words of the line to be displayed are temporarily stored and a control unit which is provided with a cursor control in order to shift the cursor in the horizontal direction on the display unit and to display a preceding or following line of the display unit instead of a line which is currently being displayed, if corresponding control elements are actuated.
  • the control elements can be designed as cross-shaped keys, wherein when the horizontally arranged keys are actuated, the cursor is shifted in the horizontal direction and when the vertically arranged keys are actuated, the respective content of the display unit is replaced by a respective preceding or following line.
  • the control members can also be designed as a control stick or as a trackball, which can be pivoted in the corresponding coordinate directions and, if appropriate, also in the intermediate directions.
  • a further control element can also be provided, after the actuation of which the cursor or text is moved at an increased speed.
  • the cursor SM can not only be positioned in the horizontal direction with the aid of the "space" key or a "reset” key, but further control elements are provided which enable movement of the cursor SM in accordance with the movement on a data display device, in which a plurality of lines on a screen. These control elements are formed, for example, from at least four keys which are arranged in a cross shape. The keys arranged in the horizontal direction allow the cursor SM to move to the left or right and are usually labeled with corresponding arrows. Vertical movement of the cursor SM is not possible with a single-line display unit AE.
  • buttons can also be provided, which can be moved in the four coordinate directions and, if appropriate, also in intermediate directions.
  • the text is stored in a text memory TS.
  • the text can span one or more pages. It is entered using an input unit E, which is preferably designed as a keyboard.
  • the input unit E can also contain a memory or a receiver for receiving transmitted texts.
  • the text is entered using keys TA, which are designed as alphanumeric keys and as control keys.
  • the input and all other functions to be carried out are controlled by a control unit ST.
  • the text memory TS is followed by a display memory AS, in which the text of a line to be displayed on the display unit AE can be buffered.
  • the display memory AS and the text memory TS can be physically implemented in a common memory, which in turn forms a microcomputer MR together with the control unit ST.
  • a printer DR can on the display memory AS or on Text memory TS and be connected to the control unit ST in order to print out the stored texts in a known manner.
  • the control elements T1 to T4 are provided on the keyboard, which in the embodiment shown are designed as keys which are identified by arrows pointing in the four coordinate directions.
  • the T1 or T2 key is pressed briefly, the cursor SM is moved character by character to the left or right. The characters of the text are not changed, in contrast to the shift using the "space" key.
  • the T1 or T2 key is pressed continuously, the cursor SM is shifted to the left or to the right by a corresponding number of character spaces.
  • the position of the cursor SM is not changed. Instead, the text is moved down or up. If the T3 or T4 button is pressed briefly, only one preceding or following line is displayed, and if the button is pressed continuously, several preceding or following lines are displayed one after the other.
  • a further key T5 can be provided in the middle of these cross-shaped keys T1 to T4 (cursor cross), the actuation of which increases the speed at which the cursor SM or the text is shifted during the continuous actuation of the keys.
  • This key T5 can also be provided in order to be able to jump back to the beginning of a text by pressing a single key.
  • the movement of the cursor SM and the text can also be carried out simultaneously by, for example, pressing two adjacent keys, for example T1 and T3, simultaneously.
  • pressing two adjacent keys for example T1 and T3, simultaneously.
  • this corresponds to swiveling in a direction lying in the middle between the two coordinate directions.
  • the cursor SM and the text are shifted using a cursor control SS, which is part of the control unit ST and is likewise implemented within the microcomputer MR by appropriate programming.
  • This cursor control SS corresponds to a cursor control known from data display devices with regard to the displacement of the cursor.
  • the cursor control SS is designed in such a way that in this case the memory content of the display memory AS is reloaded and the respective preceding or following line is stored in the display memory AS by the text memory TS.
